Well, that doesn't really align with my interests, education, personality, or skills[1]. I do appreciate that criticism, but I'm looking for ways to give back that don't require abandoning my chosen career. I think there's a middle ground, basically. [1]: What I mean is, I don't want to build my own company, and if I did, it would be in a very niche area that wouldn't directly benefit the people that most need help.

Just pick a charity and send them money or donate your time to volunteer efforts in your community. > What I mean is Completely understandable. I was responding to the idea that being a cut throat capitalist that treads on your customers and workers to make a bunch of money that you then export some fraction of into "effective altruism" is probably missing the point of altruism entirely. I think it creates more suffering than it solves.
